.SH DESCRIPTION
If one has previously loaded a local Name Space using
.BR pmLoadNameSpace (3)
or
.BR pmLoadASCIINameSpace (3),
then calling
.BR pmUnloadNameSpace (3)
will free up the memory associated with the Name Space and force all
subsequent PMNS routine calls to use the distributed PMNS.
If
.BR pmUnloadNameSpace (3)
is called before calling
.BR pmLoadNameSpace (3)
or
.BR pmLoadASCIINameSpace (3),
then it will effectively do nothing.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR PMAPI (3),
.BR pmLoadASCIINameSpace (3),
.BR pmLoadNameSpace (3)
and
.BR PMNS (5).
